Create the LIQUID-U™ Program That Works Best for You

Each Academy Series Can Be Enhanced Using Our Exclusive 4 Step Process (Optional)

Step 1: Knowledge Assessment

The best way to motivate staff is to let them know you're interested in their success. One way to do that: start with a Knowledge Assessment Exam to allow staff to identify areas where they want to improve. We'll provide you a summary report showing the areas where your staff could use more training.

Step 2: Course Work

Choose from among our growing list of Academy offerings. Choose lessons that are 'category basics' lasting 5-10 minutes. Or, choose to focus on more advanced topics such as how spirits & wine are made, label reading, or leading brands.

Step 3: Testing & Certification

Each course ends with a test. Monitor staff to ensure they are meeting learning goals. Suggest course re-takes where results need improvement. Post a 'Learning Leadership' board in a common area to motivate success.

Step 4: Retention Assessment

As courses work is completed, take time at a staff meeting to acknowledge or reward achievement. Ask staff to share what they have learned using questions from our Retention Assessment Guide. Repeat steps 1-4 as new employees join your team!
